Help with Inquisitor build

[Ghostwidow]

I am new to Pathfinder, but am an old second edition D&D player. I am looking to build an inquisitor for PFS and am stuck between two races for what I am looking to do. I am going to be a switch hitter of sorts, opening up with the bow and using it for certain situations, but mostly focused on melee. I am also goign to use him to be an infiltraitor of sorts. He is going to worship Zursvaater for the trickery domain and use of the greatsword.

Anyways the two races and builds I am stuck between are

Human

str-16
dex-14
con-14
int-10
wis-14
Cha-10

or

Tielfing (Oni-Spawn)

Str-16
dex-14
con-14
int-10
wis-16
Cha-8

I dont plan on taking manyshot as I am not going to be a primary archer. The human will let me come into my own a little quicker with a bonus feat, and the extra spell is nice, but the higher extra stat and all the goodies that come from Tiefling are hard to pass up (alter self as a bonus in place of darkness for infiltraition flavor is icing onthe cake).

Any suggestions or advise on this...should I go a totally different way with the Inquisitor?

Alter Self is also a mild buff. Good race choice.

What books are allowed?

It's for Pathfinder Society gameplay, so pretty much all the books with the erratas and addendums to make it legal for gameplay.

Not sure why you need that higher charisma.

Well, depending on the build/archetype/Inquisition there are times when dumping Charisma can hurt.

Incidentally, if the OP wants an infiltration-focused type of Inquisitor, the Heretic and Infiltrator archetypes are both good at that, and let you apply your wisdom modifier to some of the needed skills.

For the human, I could drop cha and put those points into int for my lores I guess. So all in all would the Tiefling be a better choice? I am stuck between being a bit better at start, or having all the goodies and the extra higher stat. Since level 12 is the retirement arc for PFS, I also dont want to wait forever to come into my own.

I could also use the conversion Inquisition for my Wis modifier to my skills instead of commiting to an archtype and losing monster lore.
